When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 760: The Sophisticated Grandmother
"Granny, are you... Chase’s grandmother?" Rachel was also shocked. Isn’t this fate just too amazing? She smiled, "Hello, Granny."
"Yes, indeed." Granny Hughes quickly pulled the young couple closer, "Come, come, quickly tell Grandma, when did you two get together? How long has it been?"
In any case, Rachel hadn’t ended up with an outsider, which made the old lady very happy. Somehow, she felt a special connection with this girl.
Chase was very willing to share with Grandma, as he knew his parents’ thoughts were somewhat traditional, and having Grandma’s support would reduce a lot of resistance.
Grandma’s fondness for Rachel was something he hadn’t expected; it seemed even fate was helping him.
Grandma had high hopes for the two of them being together, and she kept complimenting how well-matched they were.
Until two hours later—
Regarding matters of the heart, Chase had finished reporting to Grandma.
Rachel had completed the exclusive interview, and only then did Chase bring her to bid farewell to Grandma before leaving the shadowy courtyard.
He drove her to the office building, where she sat in his passenger seat, still in disbelief, "Granny Hughes is actually your grandmother. That’s just too amazing!"
Chase held her hand, cherishing their intertwined fingers and the warmth of their palms, also marveling at the wonder of fate.
"Perhaps this is predestined. With Grandma liking you so much, do you feel less burdened?"
"Grandma said she’s making a surprise visit to your house tonight. Is she really going?" Rachel asked curiously, wondering what might happen.
"If I invite her, she’ll definitely go," he said proudly, "Grandma spoils us all, and we were all raised by her. Grandma is a woman of great wisdom."
"Yes, I can see that." Rachel also liked Grandma.
"My grandmother has seen great experiences; she grew up abroad, speaks seven languages, and she’s a true lady of the house. She can empathize with the embarrassment of having an empty pocket and understand the arrogance of the newly rich."
Rachel listened with great interest, feeling that Grandma truly possessed an aura of strength.
"My grandmother can imagine the shortsightedness of a frog in a well and tolerate the bravado of the boastful. She understands the myriad states of human beings and always carries a sense of compassion."
After hearing this, Rachel’s impression of Granny Hughes further deepened, allowing her to write a more profound interview piece.
Grandma must also be very rich, not just in spirit.
But she chose to live in this courtyard house, giving up her spacious villa to care for stray cats; every brick carries the marks of time.
Though it is worn, it is neatly kept, and Grandma is a meticulous woman who knows how to live well.
When Chase returned to the President’s office at Fletcher Group after dropping off Rachel, Ben Fletcher immediately offered congratulations—
"Congratulations to The Great President Fletcher for finally being off the market! Such a big occasion kept so secret! Are you just reluctant to spend on wedding candies?"
Chase glanced at him and walked straight towards his desk.
Ben continued to chatter behind him, "Honestly, did she send that golf club to my uncle-in-law?" His tone was light, as if he had fallen in love himself.
"Grown-ups should discuss less about children’s affairs. Just buy it and I’ll reimburse you."
Chase didn’t engage in much idle chatter, sitting down at his desk and casually turning on the computer, "Has the report been verified?"
"I worked overtime last night to verify it, no issues." Ben immediately switched to work mode, appearing quite serious.
"Alright, prepare the meeting materials."
"Yes, President Fletcher."
The day was a Friday, and in the blink of an eye, five o’clock in the afternoon arrived. Chase’s car promptly parked downstairs at Rachel’s office building.
